Neonized nature

Explosive color and movement of organic flowing hue masses...combined with the rays of angularity...the work of Hannah Stouffer is energetic and at times haunting...strange reptilian forms quietly roll across the burning landscape...I like the balance of representational and abstract imagery...these elements seem to exist in harmony, with neither over powering the other...

The dark background in contrast to the white areas creates visual tension...the repetition of circular and arrow forms moves the viewer around the picture planes like fingers pointing...look here and then look there...the way she develops the abstract, flowing washes in this piece entitiled Black Roses, is interesting and effective...this piece is loud and urban, a piece of bright nature in an otherwise, concrete, dark context...
